Hi,I'm trying to create a custom DocLib action on Share that opens a new window with an URL that needs to be created by a webscript before (based on the node-ref).I followed this example: http://ecmstuff.blogspot.de/2012/04/adding-document-library-actions-in.htmlIt works fine so far and it seems to

If you give your success option a callback rather than a message you should be able to navigate in that. So


               success:
               {
                  callback:
                  {
                     fn: function DL_oAEO_success(data)
                     {
                       // Navigate here
                     }
                   }
                }

Hi,

I'm facing a similar issue, i would like to run a back-end action but then need to call a custom javascript function on success.
Looking at :
http://sharextras.org/jsdoc/share/community-head/symbols/Alfresco.doclib.Actions.html#onActionSimpleRepoAction

I see i can use this declaration in share-config-custom.xml, right ?


 <action id="document-workitem" type="javascript" label="actions.document.addtoworkitem" icon="toworkitem">
       <param name="function">onActionSimpleRepoAction</param>
       <param name="action">imaging.toworkitem</param>
       <param name="success">goToWorkItem</param>
       <param name="failureMessage">message.addtoworkitem.failure</param>
       <evaluator negate="true">evaluator.doclib.metadata.hasAspectWorkItem</evaluator>
  </action>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But it displays the failure message when i run the action.
When i use a successMessage instead of success callback it works.
So, where the callback javascript function need to declared or register somewhere ? For now i just declare it in js file.

Thank you.

Thank you Bob!

I'm now able to execute with the callback option my own javascript function:


…
this.modules.actions.genericAction(
{
    success:
    {
       callback :
       {
           scope: this,
           fn: function(object)
           {
               //var result = eval("(" +object.serverResponse.responseText+")");
               window.open(object.serverResponse.responseText, "_new");
           }
        },
        event:
        {
            name: "metadataRefresh"
        }
    },
    failure:
    {
        message: this.msg("message.openExternal.failure", file.displayName, Alfresco.constants.USERNAME)
    },
    webscript:
    {
        …
